Spring 2010: "Classical Mythology"
Another offering in our series of university lectures began on April 8, 2010. The DVDs for "Classical Mythology" by Professor Elizabeth Vandiver of the University of Maryland may still be viewed or borrowed from the Monroe County Library.
The Great Courses format presents two half-hour lectures in the evening with an opportunity to discuss the subject afterward. It is a relaxing and informal way to broaden knowledge and understanding in a variety of subject areas. To date, the Arts Alliance and the Library have also offered "Questions of Value," an ethics course; "Masterpieces of the Louvre," and "From Monet to Van Gogh: A History of Impressionism," as well as the DVD "West Virginia: A History." Suggestions for future subjects are welcome. The courses that have been completed are available for circulation at the library.
